It all boils down to the choices we make minute by minute…

We can look far and wide and here and there and everywhere for just the right instructions for being courageous and brave.

But in the end, it all boils down to the choices we make minute by minute… especially the choices we make when we are afraid, or when we feel like quitting, or when we must do something very right but very difficult.

Courage is simply making the choices that must be made every day…and then acting on them.

Sometimes being brave means we have to hold on tight, and sometimes it means we have to let go. Sometimes bravery requires staying with it, and sometimes the bravest thing we can do is to walk away. Bravery is doing the right thing, the truest thing, the best thing…no matter how afraid or uncomfortable we are.

The world needs more bravery, dear friend. The world needs more courageous souls who live from their hearts…and who are kind and good and true. The world needs more mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, beloveds and friends who are courageous enough to make brave choices….day after day after day.
